[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Until 6th grade he was seen as "all boy." Poor impulse control (nothing violent, just stupid stuff like walking around the room when he was supposed to be seated), talking when he wasn't supposed to, roughhousing with other kids, fidgety, etc.  But he was able to get his work done.

In 6th teachers, weren't tolerant of his disruptive behaviors (don't blame them) and we were getting notes about his behavior about 4/5 days/week.  And with the increased work load, he was falling behind.

He is a HS junior now and has been on meds since the end of 6th grade. He is no longer disruptive in class, has a 4.0 GPA, plays a varsity sport, and has a social life. When his meds wear off I can see what he would still be like and it isn't pretty. He is argumentative, very poor impulse control, scattered, and just not fun to be with.[/quote]

Thanks! This is helpful. I just wish we could find a stimulant that would work for my kid.....[/quote]

My kid has been on meds for 1+ year and is still falling behind and getting into trouble.
